Tonight is Lord and Lady Campbell's Ball and every single
bachelor and single ladies is going to be there
until midnight when all mask are taken off. Lady Campbell, of
course loves to hold such balls. Tonight the ballroom was
designed with pure gold. The draperies were gold silk, shining
against the candles chandeliers. Everybody was dressed to impress
and some single ladies went beyond revealing. The
bachelors moved about the room sending
promising glances towards their lovers.

Evelyn moved swiftly around the dance floor, trying to avoid any
kind of
communication with any one. Tonight, Evelyn's
mother had asked Evelyn to wear a ball gown that was emerald
green. Her mother had said it enhanced her hair and eyes. She was
too plain. Evelyn is now twenty-four and her mother believe she
is getting too old. Rolling Evelyn's eyes she looked towards the
dance floor where happy couples and lovers danced happily. With
her cup of champagne in her hand she slowly sipped it and moved
her gaze elsewhere. Surprisingly, it landed on a bunch of girls
looking up at the entrance. What is it that caught their
attention? She moved her gaze and followed their line of gaze to
the entrance where there stood Lord Lockton. He wore as always
black and snuggly and fittingly it fit his body. Evelyn almost
smirked and turned away but then he switched his gaze from the
group of girls to Evelyn. Caught in the act, she quickly diverted
her gaze and walked away.

Evelyn was standing by the door when someone nudged her. She
turned to look. "Oh! Lord Henderson. How nice to see you
tonight." She curtsied. He bowed.

"It's a pleasure to see you as well, Lady Evelyn. May I say, you
look lovely tonight?" He asked.

"Aw, how sweet of you." She said softly looking for escape route.
Lord Henderson is sweet but yet he is short and stubby. To make
things worst, he is a married man.

"Yes, the color…" He paused for a moment. "The color green
matches you. It looks like grass and matches your brown hair
because it looks…" Evelyn knew he was nervous and he is not much
of a sweet talker. She wondered how did he ever married Lady
Henderson and yet he is seeking women.

"Thank you, Lord Henderson for that lovely comment." She said.
"Ah, I think my sister Gretchen is calling me. I shall go to her.
It was nice talking to you."

Moving away she found her way around looking for her mother and
her sister Gretchen but found that her sister Gretchen was on the
floor dancing with this Lord something. Evelyn found her mother
next with Lady Chester. She was sure they were gossiping. Not
feeling like going to her mother now, she moved to an empty
balcony. She gazed out into the dark night. She knows she was not
suppose to be out here alone, not without a chaperone but she
just could not stand being in there no more.
"Lord Lockton…" Some lady purred down below Evelyn. Evelyn set
her champagne glass down and leaned over to look. It was Lady
Lucinda. She was with the notorious of all in England. Evelyn
couldn't help but lean in more to see what was happening. "Oh I
missed your touch. Feel me, I want you." Evelyn cringed at the
disgust.

"Lady Lucinda…how nice to see you out here…" Lord Lockton's bold
voice said with ease and with such masculine in it. A shiver ran
through Evelyn. There was silence for a bit and Evelyn knew they
were kissing. It soon led to a rustle of clothes being taken off.
Ohhh, how divine of a moment. Evelyn felt evil.

"Ohhh, Lady Lucinda, I did not see you there. Hello!" Evelyn
called out. "Oh and Lord Lockton? Oh my, nice to meet you." She
said with ease and couldn't help but let out a small giggle. Oh
she was evil, all right.

Lord Lockton's head popped up and Lady Lucinda covered her bosom
in attempt to hide her shame. It was silly looking at two lovers
in an attempt in something scandalous. "Well, I best be going."
She announced before turning on heels and picking up her glass of
champagne she left the balcony and was on her way back to the
ballroom but found that someone had stopped her. What now? She
turned and met her gaze with Lord Lockton.

Cameron looked at the woman who he saw when he was standing on
top of the entrance. She was the one who caught him with Lady
Lucinda and by god being this close to her he could see her
beautiful dark brown eyes and the fine cheekbone as well as the
soft curls…she was very seductive looking.

"Hello, Lord Lockton. I hope everything was fine and well down in
the garden." Her eyes sparkled and his body reacted
instantly.

"Yes, it is. Thanks to you, of course, Lady…?" He prodded. Evelyn
raised her eyebrow questionably. "If I may be so bold, what is
your name?" He asked.

"Ah, Lady Evelyn." She said softly and slowly bit her lips.
Either she was pure innocence or she did it to entice him. She
curtsied then. He bowed.

"Lady Evelyn, I hope your calling card is not full because I
would like to be one of the good men on your list." What was he
thinking?

"Oh I do apologize, Lord Lockton but it seems my card is full.
Now if you would excuse me." She moved away from him but he held
her in place with one of his hand. With swiftness he flicked in
his left hand a card that was empty.

"Oh but I see plenty of spots open." He took out his pen and
wrote his name on it. "I will see you on the next dance." With
that he moved away from her.

Cameron never reacted to another woman like this before. He was
almost not able to control himself. Lady Lucinda came scampering
in. She gave Lord Lockton a look of promises and a whisper of
satisfaction tonight before quickly moving away again. Damn, Lady
Evelyn for interrupting. Lady Lucinda was a beautiful married
lady. She was flirtatious and shameful. So, when she offered he
couldn't resist but accept even when she is a married lady. Her
husband can not give her what she wanted. It was not his fault,
was it?

Cameron straightens out his cravat and into the crowd of women he
went. One elderly lady in particular came up to Cameron. Cameron
notices her right away she was Lady Rosales. She was a sweet
elderly lady who as Cameron remembered has two beautiful
daughters.

"Good evening, my lord." Lady Rosales started and behind her
Cameron notice there were two girls who eagerly waited to be
introduced.

"Yes, it is." Cameron smiled devilishly. "And may I ask, who are
those two stunning beauty behind you?"

Lady Rosales slapped Cameron lightly on his arm and let out a
little laugh. "Oh, forgive me, they are my two daughters." She
pulled the two eager daughters in front of her.

"My, what loveliness I am sure they have their looks from you,
Lady Rosales." Cameron smiled yet again wickedly before planting
soft kisses on each of the girl's hand. They almost swooned if
not Lady Rosales who lightly slapped them on the back.

"Oh, Lord Lockton…you just so sweet." Lady Rosales chuckled. Then
she pointed to one of her daughters with raven black hair. She
had gray eyes and they look stunning as well. "This is my eldest
daughter, Marie." Then she pointed to her other daughter who on
the other hand had brown hair and the loveliest cheeks. "This is
my second daughter, Francesca."

"Both are magnificent." Cameron said to impress but his mind was
thinking about Lady Evelyn.

"I hope that I can have a dance with both of you ladies before
the evening is over." He said before he bowed and took his
leave.

The next dance was coming on and he needed to find his partner
Lady Evelyn. He found her sitting by a chair gazing not at the
dance floor but out into the night. How odd. He walked over to
her.

"Lady Evelyn?" He put his hand out. She moved her gaze to his
face and as if he was the very devil her eyes turned icy and her
face moved into a scowl. "I believe you promised me a dance?" He
prodded on. He thought he saw something flash in her eyes but
then her warm hand was set in his and he completely forgot about
it as he led her to the dance floor.
